Surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) aim to improve airflow. However, current research is lacking, with no completed trials found to assess surgical intervention effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Sleep Medicine
  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Research

Background:

  • Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) involves periodic airflow reduction during sleep, characterized by snoring and disrupted sleep.
  • Surgical interventions are one of several treatment options for OSA, aiming to alleviate airway obstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the effects of surgical interventions for obstructive sleep apnoea.
  • To assess the efficacy of various surgical approaches in managing OSA.

Main Methods:

  • Searched the Cochrane Airways Group trials register and article reference lists.
  • Contacted field experts, research bodies, and other Cochrane Review Groups.
  • Included randomized and quasi-randomized trials comparing surgical interventions against other treatments or no intervention.

Main Results:

  • No completed trials met the inclusion criteria for this review.
  • No studies were identified that fulfilled the selection criteria.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical need for high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in OSA surgery.
  • Further research is required to identify and standardize techniques for pinpointing airway obstruction sites.
